Reflections on Vintage's Growth and Team Dynamics | 3min snip from The Peel with Turner Novak

Speaker 1
And I think we're better firm for it. Yeah.
Speaker 2
Is there speaking about being coming a better firm, how did vintage turn out differently than you thought it would back when you started anything that stands out?
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. I never thought we'd get to this, you know, I never thought we'd grow to where we are. You know, I knew we wanted to add like a lot of different functionality and eventually, you know, get, you know, much more international and everything else. But, you know, I, I did never thought we, you know, it's gone very well for us. I never, you know, imagine they would go as well as it's gone for us. And, and, you know, thank, you know, thank God I'm grateful for that. But I think a nice thing about it is you never know that after 21 years, you're going to be able to say, I love my partners and I love my partners. You know, I, you know, it's, it's, I, I'm unfortunate to work with phenomenal human beings and, you know, you see it up in the opposite, you see it in the downs and we can disagree on all sorts of stuff. But man, I, you know, if I could do it over again, I would do it the same people. Wow.
Speaker 2
Okay. That's a very big endorsement for the current team
Speaker 1
then. By the way, I'm an LP in the current. In the new fund that I'm not part of. I'm, I'm serious. In the new fund that I'm not part of, I'm an LP. I, because I, not because I had a B because I, I, I think I'm going to do really well with them. And they're, and they're great human beings. And you know what? One of the gets back to the culture point we talked about before. I want to be proud of the people I'm working with and proud of the people I call my partner.
Speaker 2
Yeah. On that note, I think this is a great spot to wrap up. This was an incredible conversation. Thank you so much for coming on.
